Kellyville is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. It was contested for the first time at the 2023 election.[1]

It is a conservative urban electorate in the Hills District in Sydney's north west.

History[edit]

Kellyville was created as a result of the 2021 redistribution. The electorate of Baulkham Hills was abolished, and much of it was transferred to Kellyville. The remainder of Kellyville comprises parts of the former Castle Hill. Based on the results of the 2019 election, it was a very safe seat for the Liberal Party with an estimated notional margin of 23.1 percent.[2]

Ray Williams was elected in the 2023 New South Wales state election.[3]

Geography[edit]

On its current boundaries, Kellyville takes in the suburbs of Beaumont Hills, Bella Vista, Kellyville, North Kellyville, Norwest and parts of Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill and Rouse Hill.[4]
